Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for grinding or polishing glass sheets or thelike materials'by surfacing tools moving in contact with the surface to be worked.
  • the fluid exerting pressure may be either liquid or gas,and that it is preferably applied so as to produce equal pressure on all parts of the runner, for-instance by supporting the runner on pistons supplied by the same source of fluid pressure such as from a single master cylinder connected to operating cylinders of identical size.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide means to impart to the surfacing tool a circular translatory motion in which each and every point of .the surfacing tool has the same and equal movement along parallel paths, the path of each point being a circumference of agiven radius.
  • This is also called homocircular motion such as it is, for example, described in Patent No. 2,787,100.
  • This same rotating motion is imparted to the surfacing tool at two or several pointsxrotat ing in synchronism.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide simple and efficient means, in an apparatus of the character above specified, for movement of the surfacing tools perpendicularly to the surface to be worked and for bringing .the tools in contact with the said surface and for maintaining said surfacing tools in contact with it as the working surface of said tools is worn away.
  • Another object of the invention is tosecure the application to the surface being worked of a pressure throughout its length and equally to the different points of the working surface.
  • Another object is to apply fluid pressures to surfacing machines, particularly to elongated tools which operate upon moving sheets of glass, and to provide means for bringing such surfacing tools, into engagement and removing them from glass so that substantially uniform contact is made or terminated throughout the area of the tool,
  • Another object is to provide aglass surfacing apparatus of translatory motion type which is capable of ready adjustments in all its parts, so that any imperfections in its motions may be promptly corrected.
  • Fig. l is a diagrammatic view partly in vertical section along its longitudinal plane of symmetry of an apparatus embodying major principles of the invention.
  • Figs. 2, 3 and 4 are largely vertical sections through elements of this device on a larger scale
  • Fig. 5 is a partial vertical section of an alternative. form of the driving member and of the polishing sh e, Showing their connection.
  • Fig. 6 is a schematic drawing of a device for synchronizing the rotation of two driving devices according to Fig. 5.
  • Fig. 7 is a vertical partial section, throughthe axis of the rotating device driving one zone of the polishing shoe, showing details of construction.
  • Fig. 8 is a detailed section of a connection. shown more generally in Fig. 5.
  • 1 is a glass sheet, 2 .a polishing shoe of elongated, generally rectangular shape sup ported at points A and B which are located in the vertical plane of symmetry of said tool, by identical driving devices comprising elements 3 bearing in cylindrical sleeves 4 which may slide in the frame 5 of the polishing apparatus and which are provided, on their lateral surface, with two pins 6 diametrally located.
  • Each sleeve 4 is connected with "a disc 7, movable in a cavity 8, provided in the frame 5, as a piston in a cylinder.
  • the displacement ,of this disc - is limited to a few centimeters, corresponding to the utilisable thickness of the pads,
  • the upper chamber of each cylinder 8 communicates with a common supply of fluid such as compressed air orliquid, not shownin the drawing.
  • a worm 10 may be rotated around its axis, in both directions, by a driving unit 11, comprising a motor and a reducing gear, to whichitis connected.
  • the worm 10 is mounted on roller bearings 12, located in the frame 5.
  • a central piece .13 is provided with a, cylindrical opening 14 and comprises two ears 15 diametrally located, each made of two parallel flanges.
  • a Cross, pin .16 connects both flanges of each ear near-their ends.
  • the central piece 13 slides smoothly on a central guide 17, pro.- vided with'internal threads corresponding with those of worm 10 andscrewed on the latter.
  • This guide is pro.- vided with an annular flange 18 at its upper part. .
  • a pin .19, .screwedon piece 1:3 has its extremity 2t engaged in a slot 21 of guide .17.
  • Each arm 2323 connectthe central piece '13 to the respective sleeves 4.
  • Each arm has the shape of a fork as shown in Fig 3, and is pivoted on ax'is24, the cylindrical body of which is eccentric relatively to its threaded ends 25 (Fig. 4) which are fixed on the frameS bymeans of nuts. The purpose of this eccentric axis will appear as the description proceeds.
  • Each end of arm 23 is notched.
  • the length and depth of these notches are adequate for engaging cross pin 16 on one side and pin 6 on the other, whilst allowing suflicient longitudinal clearance for the angular displacement of the arm.
  • the respective positions of the various parts are as shown in Fig. l.
  • the polishing shoe 2 is spaced a few centimeters from the glass sheet 1, the pistons 7 are at the upper part of cylinders 8, the central piece 13 abuts the flange 18 of guide 17, and the two contacts 22-22 are in engagement.
  • the driving unit 11 is then started so as to rotate the worm in the sense corresponding to the ascent of guide 17 along the threads of said worm.
  • the central piece 13 not being held back by the rim 18 of the guide, is driven by the screw to ascend, consequently permitting the sleeves 4 and the polishing shoe 2 to be lowered towards the glass sheet by the fluid pressure in the upper chambers of the cylinders 8.
  • the even application of the rubbing surface of the polishing shoe to the glass sheet is completed by adjusting the vertical position of one of the sleeves 4 relatively to the other. It may be seen in Fig. 4 that the adjustment is made by rotating one of the eccentric axes 24 in the frame 5, thus changing the position of the corresponding arm 23. When the shoe has been brought evenly into contact with the plane of the glass sheet, the axis 24 is locked in position on frame 5.
  • the pressure of the fluid, for instance compressed air, fed into the upper chambers of the cylinders 8 through the feeding inlets 9 is transmitted to the shoe 2 and insures a regular pressure of all the rubbing surface of said tool on the glass sheet.
  • the working face of the shoe is progressively worn away, but is in even contact withthe glass sheet, and exerts continuously on it the required pressure, under the action of the fluid in chambers of the cylinders 8. Consequently the surfacing tools are progressively lowered, carrying with them the sleeves 4.
  • the central piece 13 is progressively raised until its abuts the annular flange 18, but as the contacts 2222 engage, the motor stars, rotates worm 10, and the guide 17 ascends until the contacts 22 separate again.
  • the central piece 13 is free from pressure and may be raised so that the shoe remains applied to the glass sheet under the action of fluid pressure, without any mechanical pressure.
  • This rotating element has a shaft 29 with an axis XX.
  • the lower part of the element is drilled eccentrically as at 27 and is thus provided with a cylindrical opening 27 whose vertical axis Y-Y is parallel to but separated from the axis XX.
  • the driving element 26 is mounted on a shoulder 28 at the end of a cylindrical shaft 29.
  • the shaft 29 of driving element 26 is splined at 29a and fits within the grooved, rotatable driving sleeve 29b to which rotation is imparted by the power used to impart translating motion to the runner. Rotation is secured by a motor, not shown in the figure.
  • This arrangement provides a telescopic connection between the motor and the element 26, allowing vertical motions of the latter, such motions being necessary to bring the surfacing tool in contact with the glass sheet or to remove it, or to compensate for the wear of the working face.
  • the driving element 26 revolves inside the sleeve 4, which may be raised or lowered, as appears from the description of Fig. 1.
  • bearings 30, 32, 31 which support the rotation of the runner and transmit the thrust of the piston thereto.
  • Bearing 30 is preferably of ball bearing type.
  • Bearing 31 is preferably of roller type and bearing 32 is preferably a thrust bearing.
  • a nut 33, screwed on a threaded part of shoulder 28 is used to seat driving element 26 in place.
  • a shaft 34 which corresponds, in this figure to part 3 of Fig. 1.
  • This shaft 34 is fixed to the surfacing tool 2, and is supported in driving element 26 by a thrust bearing 35, and a ball bearing 36. It is laterally guided by a roller bearing 37, which may be advantageously of the cylindrical roller bearing type.
  • a nut 38 screwed at the top of the driven element 34, assembles the parts, which is permitted by constructing elements 2628 in two parts as indicated by shading in Figs. 5 and 7.
  • each driving element 26 is revolved about its axis X--X for instance through an individual motor connected to hollow shaft 29!).
  • Each axis Y-Y describes a cylinder about axis XX, the radius r of which equals the distance separating them.
  • all points on driven elements 34 and surfacing tool 2 describe circumferences of radius r. This radius may be as large or as small as desired.
  • both driving members 26 must be synchronized when they are driven by individual motors, in part becouse of the lost motion of the motors under load.
  • a sprocket 39 is keyed on each sleeve 29b, such sprocket meshing with an endless chain 40.
  • a tightening mechanism made of two rollers 4141 rolling on the chain and adjustable along an operating arm 42, may
  • one of the sprockets 39 may be freed from the chain and brought by rotation to the exact position desired. Then, by actuating the tightening mechanism both pinions are meshed with the endless chain.
  • the shaft 34 has, on the extremity directed toward the surfacing tool, a head 44, 1comprising a tapering .protuberance45, which may be inserted into a corresponding depression 46 of the surfacing tool and an annular flange 47.
  • a casing 48 of general parallelepipedic shape, enables one to link the surfacing tool 2 with the head 44, into which it enters through an orifice 49 bored in the bottom of the latter.
  • the casing is provided with lateral grooves 50-50, in which are lodged the lateral edges of the surfacing tool.
  • a spiral spring 51 highly compressed, holds the surfacing tool in these grooves. For this purpose, the said spring rests on the bottom of the casing and on the annular rim 47 of the driven element.
  • each of these members 34 carries the casing upward with it while the surfacing tool remains locked, in the grooves of the casing under the action of spring 51. But, as the upward motion continues, the upper part of the casing engages stop-pieces 52, fixed on the frame 5, thus interrupting the upward motion of the casing whilst the upward motion of the 'head 44 goes on. Now the tapering protuberance 45 separates from the surfacing tool andthe spring 51 releases the said tool in the grooves of the casing. It is then possible to remove the tool from the grooves and to extract it from the apparaus by sliding it in the said grooves.
  • Fig. 8 shows, on a larger scale than Fig. 5 the construction of an alternative connection which drives the surfacing tool.
  • This connection consists of a piece 53, whose upper part constitutes the housing proper receiving the tapered protuberance and whose lower cylindrical part 54 is inserted in an aperture 55, also cylindrical, purposely provided in the surfacing tool, the diameter of this orifice being much greater than that of the internally threaded boss 54.
  • an expansion joint 56 of constant volume, e. g. filled with .pitch, which is in place by a cover 57 screwed o-n boss 54, so that the set 53-57 is attached to the surface tool-without being rigidly attached to it.
  • the joint permits the longitudinal expansion of the surfacing tool between its driving elements while maintaining the position of their axis constant. Only one such joint isneeded for a single shoe.
  • the element not provided with an expansion joint is provided with a cylindrical part 54, fitting exactly in the cylindrical aperture 55.
  • the set formed by piece 53 and cover 57 is, in thiscase, clamped on the surfacing tool.
  • the surfacing tool acts as a connecting rod driven at two points by elements which impart a circular translatory motion, one of these elements being rigidly connected to said surfacing tool and the other being connected (as shown in Fig. 8) through an elastic plastic joint so as to insure the synchronism of the rotation of the rotating elements, whilst allowing for longitudinal displacements caused by the expansion of the surfacing tool.
  • the tool being, as a matter of fact, laterally maintained in the grooves of the casing 48, the latter being itself always guided by the head 44. Consequently the casing follows exactly the motion of this head, which opposes all lateral displacement of the surfacing tool relatively to its median line.
  • One of the purposes of thepolishing shoe is to distribute over the glass surface a. pressure applied to said polishing shoe at some particular points. These pressures locally applied have a tendency to distort the rub- T bing surface so that the pressure exerted by it on the glass maynot be uniform.
  • the location of the points of application of the pressure on the surfacing tool should be determined by computation or trial so as to avoid any appreciable local distortion of the rubbing surface and, occasionally, the rigidity of the surfacing tool will be improved by ribs or other means.
  • the invention includes the following concepts taken alone and together.
  • the movements ofthe surfacing tools to and from the glass sheet are imparted by sleeves slidable in the frame of the apparatus, by pivoted arms, the said arms being driven by a common central piece displaceable perpendicularly to the glass sheet.
  • Said central piece moves along a worm revolvable about its axis and fixed to the frame of the apparatus.
  • Pressure is exerted on the surfacing tool by a fluid pushing on discs moving with the sleeves inside cylindiical apertures of the frame.
  • Circular translator-y motions of thesurfacing tool may be imparted by the rotation inside each sleeve of a driving member provided with a recess whose axis is eccentric relatively to the axis of rotation of said driving member.

  • a casing abutting both the sides of the surfacing tool and, through a spring, the element driving said surfacing tool, fixes said tool on surfacing tool when it is spaced from the glass sheet, abutting the stop pieces fixed on the frame.
